Runway Requirements

The Beechcraft King Air 200 is a turboprop aircraft (MTOW 5,670 kg). At sea level under standard conditions, expect approximately 3,500 ft takeoff distance. Always cross-reference your specific aircraft POH performance charts and current weather for actual TOD/LDR.

→ Number of runways at KMKE: 5
→ Coordinates: 42.9472, -87.8966
→ Type rating required

Approach Considerations

→Approach plates: Reference current Jeppesen or FAA charts before each flight. ILS, RNAV (GPS), and visual approaches typically available depending on runway. Check NOTAMs for outages.
→Wake turbulence: Stay alert for wake turbulence from preceding heavy aircraft, especially at major airports like KMKE.

Common Considerations

Lake Michigan airport subject to lake-effect weather with good mix of commercial and GA activity. For the Beechcraft King Air 200, the most relevant factors are runway length sufficiency, density altitude impact at field elevation 723 ft, and traffic complexity at this multi-runway airport.

Fuel Availability

Jet A is universally available at KMKE. The Beechcraft King Air 200 burns approximately 1445 pph at cruise — multiple FBOs typically compete on pricing.
